Financial Literacy Skills Last a Lifetime Math is an important part of every education. How to use math for planning a budget or managing money, however, is not often in the curriculum. Some schools are starting to provide this training by having a financial literacy program that is designed to give young people money skills that will last a lifetime. Students in the class are dealing with numbers, but they are not studying math. They are learning basic, important information about finances. One of the most important lessons is how to save money and make better financial decisions. In this class, kids learn how to set priorities and make better financial decisions. That, of course, is not always easy. Teachers teach their students about the financial mistakes many adults make. These are mistakes that can create a lot of debt. Balancing a checkbook is one basic task that can help young and old manage their money. SOURCE: http://learningenglish.voanews.com/content/skills-of-financial-literacy-last-a-lifetime/2657111.html 3
